An Affordable Family Meal Plan | Cycle 12

We are 10 days into our first cycle of eating only 5 ingredients for 10 days. I really thought that I would get SO tired of those ingredients but I didn’t!

I prepared them in totally different ways every night, and it was really fun and delicious!

It also saved a TON of money. Buying larger packages of ingredients and using all of it cut down on costs a lot.

We did a keto 5 ingredients 10 dinners cycle too, check it out here!

And if you want to read more about how I meal plan to save a ton of money, you can do that here!

For the next 10 days, we’re ditching the 5 ingredients from the last 10 days and starting fresh!

My grocery haul for the next 10 days includes all of the food our family of 4 will eat for all meals and snacks.

We are only eating 5 ingredients for dinner, but there are definitely other foods in our haul for the other two meals of the day.

For February 11-20, I’ll be cooking dinner only with:

• Sweet Potatoes
• Rice
• Black Beans
• Eggs
• Spinach

If you didn’t notice, it’s vegetarian!

We’ve done this for keto and beef already, so it seemed like it was time to go a little less meat heavy.

The total for our family meal plan for the next 10 days is $86.60!

Cutting out meat really is an easy way to save a lot of money!
